I’ve recently been reunited with my vinyl collection. Over 3000 LPs of CanCon-only vintage that I’ve been collecting since around 1980; prior to that I was your average music lover with anything and everything that fell under the guise of popular music – no matter the country.

There once was a band called The Extras. They were an amalgam of players that used to back up the late, great BB Gabor. When they went off on their own they released a debut album called ‘Bit Parts’ and had themselves an FM radio hit with a novelty tune called “Circular Impression”.
Nadia Elkharadly: The next big thing in 2013

When Cam wrote last week about the beauty of the list, I may or may not have stood up at my desk at my day job and given him a cheer. Actually, all I did was smile and say an internal “yay, LISTS!” As you may or may not have noticed in some of my past columns, I like to dabble in a little list making myself. I also like to read other people’s lists (thanks Cam for sharing Now’s list and your own – I’ve got some record shopping to do!), and in my recent list reading adventures, I’ve noticed many people taking a shot at a little fortune telling. The topic at which some writers are gearing their psychic powers towards has to do with what’s NEXT: the “next big thing”.
